Summary
We carried out an unannounced inspection to Dr Gray’s Hospital, NHS Grampian on Monday 9 to Wednesday 11 October 2023 using our safe delivery of care inspection methodology.
In parallel to this inspection, we also carried out a safe delivery of care inspection at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary to provide wider assurance of systems and processes across NHS Grampian.
During our inspection, we:
- inspected the ward and hospital environment.
- observed staff practice and interactions with patients, such as during patient
mealtimes. - spoke with patients, visitors and ward staff
- accessed patients’ health records, monitoring reports, policies, and procedures
Our findings
This inspection resulted in two areas of good practice, one recommendation and 20 requirements.
“An improvement action plan has been developed by NHS Grampian to meet the requirements at both hospitals. We will seek assurance that improvement actions are progressed through future inspections.”
